< Isaiah 49 >

1 Hear yee me, O yles, and hearken, yee people from farre. The Lord hath called me from the wombe, and made mention of my name from my mothers bellie.
Winjauru un joma odak e dho nembe, winjuru un pinje man mabor: Kane pok onywola Jehova Nyasaye ne oluonga koa e nywolna ne oluongo nyinga.
2 And hee hath made my mouth like a sharpe sworde: vnder the shadowe of his hande hath he hid mee, and made me a chosen shafte, and hid me in his quiuer,
Ne omiyo lewa obedo ka ligangla mabith, e bwo tipo mar lwete ne opanda; ne omiyo abedo ka asere moywe maler kendo ne opanda e olalone.
3 And sayd vnto me, Thou art my seruaunt, Israel, for I will be glorious in thee.
Ne owachona niya, “In e jatichna, Israel, kuomi ema abiro nyisoe duongʼ mara.”
4 And I said, I haue labored in vaine: I haue spent my strength in vaine and for nothing: but my iudgement is with the Lord, and my woorke with my God.
To ne awacho ni, “Asetiyo matek kayiem nono; aseketho tekra kayiem nono. Kata kamano pokna ni e lwet Jehova Nyasaye kendo michna Nyasacha ema nigo.”
5 And now sayeth the Lord, that formed me from the wombe to be his seruaunt, that I may bring Iaakob againe to him (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I bee glorious in the eyes of the Lord: and my God shall be my strength)
To koro Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama; jal mane ochweya e ich mondo abed jatichne, mondo adwok joka Jakobo kuome kendo achok jo-Israel ire, nimar aseyudo duongʼ e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Nyasacha ema osebedo tekrena.
6 And hee sayde, It is a small thing that thou shouldest be my seruaunt, to raise vp the tribes of Iaakob, and to restore the desolations of Israel: I will also giue thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou maiest bee my saluation vnto the ende of the worlde.
Owacho ni: “En gima tin ahinya mondo ibed jatichna kata mondo iduog dhood joka Jakobo, kendo mondo iduog jo-Israel manok mane odongʼ. Abiro miyo ibed ler mar ogendini, mondo iter wach warruokna e tunge piny duto.”
7 Thus sayeth the Lord the redeemer of Israel, and his Holie one, to him that is despised in soule, to a nation that is abhorred, to a seruaunt of rulers, Kinges shall see, and arise, and princes shall worship, because of the Lord, that is faithfull: and ye Holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Jares ji kendo Ngʼat Maler mar Israel wacho, ne ngʼat mane ogendini ochayo kendo ma en misumba jotend piny: “Ruodhi nochungʼni malo koneni, kendo jotelo koneno ma to nopodhni auma, nikech Jehova Nyasaye, jal ma ja-adiera ma en Ngʼat Maler mar Israel ema oseyieri.”
8 Thus sayeth the Lord, In an acceptable time haue I heard thee, and in a day of saluation haue I helped thee: and I will preserue thee, and wil giue thee for a couenant of ye people, that thou maiest raise vp the earth, and obtaine the inheritance of the desolate heritages:
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, “E ndalona mag kech abiro dwoko kwayoni, chutho ne akonyi e odiechiengʼ mar warruok; abiro riti mi ami ibed ngʼama kelo winjruok e kinda gi ji mondo ires piny, mi ipog ji kuonde ma yande odongʼ gunda,
9 That thou maiest say to the prisoners, Goe foorth: and to them that are in darkenesse, Shewe your selues: they shall feede in the waies, and their pastures shall bee in all the toppes of the hilles.
kendo iwachne joma ni e twech ni, ‘Wuoguru oko,’ to joma ni e mudho ni, ‘Beduru thuolo!’ “Gibiro chiemo e bath yo kendo giniyud kuonde kwath e gode matindo.
10 They shall not be hungrie, neither shall they be thirstie, neither shall the heat smite them, nor the sunne: for he that hath compassion on them, shall leade them: euen to the springs of waters shall he driue them.
Kech ok nokagi kata riyo ok nologi, bende liet mar kama otimo ongoro, kata chiengʼ marieny makech ok nomigi olo. Jal ma chunye opongʼ gi kech, ema notelnigi mi tergi kuonde sokni mag pi.
11 And I will make all my mountaines, as a way, and my paths shalbe exalted.
Abiro loko godena duto yore kendo anabug yorena madongo duto maber.
12 Beholde, these shall come from farre: and loe, these from the North and from the West, and these from the land of Sinim.
To ne, ginibi ka gia mabor; moko kawuok yo nyandwat, moko kawuok yo yimbo, moko to nowuogi e gwenge mag Aswan.”
13 Reioyce, O heauens: and bee ioyfull, O earth: brast foorth into praise, O mountaines: for God hath comforted his people, and will haue mercie vpon his afflicted.
Go koko nikech mor, yaye polo, bed gi ilo, yaye piny, weruru matek, un gode! Nimar Jehova Nyasaye kweyo chuny joge kendo obiro bedo gi kech ne joge machandore.
14 But Zion saide, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
To Sayun nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼa; kendo Ruoth Nyasaye wiye osewil koda.”
15 Can a woman forget her childe, and not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe? though they should forget, yet wil I not forget thee.
“To bende dhako wiye diwil gi nyathi modhodho mi ok obedo gi kech e kothe mane onywolo. Kata ka dipo ni wiye nyalo wil, An to wiya ok nowil kodi.
16 Behold, I haue grauen thee vpon the palme of mine hands: thy walles are euer in my sight.
Ne, asendiko nyingi ei lweta kendo isiko ka ineno anena e wangʼa.
17 Thy builders make haste: thy destroiers and they that made thee waste, are departed from thee.
Yawuoti noreti kaduogo iri kendo jogo manoyako gigi noringi kaduogo iri.
18 Lift vp thine eies round about and behold: all these gather themselues together and come to thee: as I liue, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt surely put them all vpon thee as a garment, and girde thy selfe with them like a bride.
Tingʼ wangʼi malo kendo ingʼi koni gi koni: mondo ine kaka yawuoti chokore kaduogo iri.” Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon ni nyithindi nochal gi thiwni madhako rwako kata ka law maber ma miaha rwako.
19 For thy desolations, and thy waste places, and thy land destroied, shall surely be now narow for them that shall dwell in it, and they that did deuoure thee, shalbe farre away.
“Kata obedo ni osetieki midongʼ gunda kendo pinyi odongʼ nono, to koro ibiro yudo ni pinyi odoko matin ma ok oromo jogi dakie, kendo jogo mane otieki biro bedo kodi mabor.
20 The children of thy barennesse shall say againe in thine eares, The place is straict for mee: giue place to me that I may dwell.
Nyithindo mane inywolo ka in e chandruok nowachni kiwinjo ni, Kaeni tin-nwa; dwarnwa kama lach mondo wadagie.
21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten mee these, seeing I am baren and desolate, a captiue and a wanderer to and from? and who hath nourished them? beholde, I was left alone: whence are these?
Eka inipenjri e chunyi ni, ‘En ngʼa mane onywolona jogi? Ne an gi kuyo kendo ne an migumba, ne otera e twech kendo ojwangʼa. En ngʼa manopidhogi? Ne adongʼ kenda, to jogi to oa kure?’”
22 Thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will lift vp mine hande to the Gentiles and set vp my stadart to the people, and they shall bring thy sonnes in their armes: and thy daughters shall be caried vpon their shoulders.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Winji, abiro luongo Ogendini, abiro chungo bandecha ne oganda kaka ranyisi, gibiro kelo yawuoti ka gitingʼogi e badgi kendo ginikel nyigi ka gitingʼogi e gokgi.
23 And Kings shalbe thy nourcing fathers, and Queenes shalbe thy nources: they shall worship thee with their faces towarde the earth, and licke vp the dust of thy feete: and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that waite for me.
Ruodhi ema nobed kaka wuoneu kendo mond ruodhi ema nobed kaka mineu ma ritou. Ginikulre auma e nyimu ka wengegi ngʼiyo piny; kendo gininangʼ buru manie tiendu. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye kendo joma oketo genogi kuoma ok noyud wichkuot.”
24 Shall the pray be taken from the mightie? or the iust captiuitie deliuered?
Bende dima jolweny maroteke gik ma giseyako, koso dires joma otwe e lwet ngʼama kwiny?
25 But thus sayeth the Lord, euen the captiuitie of the mightie shall be taken away: and the pray of the tyrant shall be deliuered: for I wil contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will saue thy children,
To ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachoni: “Ee, joma otwe inyalo gol e lwet jolweny maroteke, kendo ngʼama omaki inyalo gamo e lwet joma kwiny; anaked gi jogo makedo kodu, kendo anares nyithindu.
26 And will feede them that spoile thee, with their owne flesh, and they shall be drunken with their owne bloode, as with sweete wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy sauiour and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Iaakob.
Abiro miyo joma sandou nocham ringregi giwegi mi anami gimer gi rembgi ka joma omadho kongʼo. Eka koth dhano duto manie piny nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye e Jawarni, Jaresni kendo Nyasaye Maratego mar Jakobo.”
